Saturday was the competition day at joo chiat complex
I came prepared for the competition
I came at around 1.30
Registration starts at 2
My father pressurised me to register first
I do not want to register first because I do not want to be the first few
contestant to sing
And indeed, i am the seventh contestant to sing
That was the 1st setback
The second setback was when I had to sing acapella
Because my CD could not work
No choice but go ahead
I was given 2 mins to sing
Ok This time I was a bit calm when I sang
Haha
There is this one contestant who wanted to sing dangdut song
The remix version
With all her dance move, wow
I must have thought she was so experienced in dancing dangdut
The moment when she had to sing
The song was not in karaoke mode
What I meant was the original singer's voice came out, nt her voice
Haiz
She dissappeared to nowhere after the technical malfunction
Even she did nt appear during prize presentation
And there is this special contestant, the last for the day
I was so touched by him
He could not walk properly, so had to go up on crutches
Had to sit on stage
Emcee asked "What song are you going to sing?"
He sang a song by the Malay 90's band Spoon
Entitled "Rindu Serindu Rindunya"(Miss you as much as I Miss You)
The emcee asked again "Who are you Missing?"
The reply "My Mum"
Emcee : So where is your mum?
The guy: She's gone
Emcee: So who are you with now?
The guy: My Brother
Such a sad story
The moment when he started singing
I could see from his face that this song really reflects him wholely
He looks sad upon singing this song
I could imagine if I were him
When your mum is present, you tend to ignore what your mum say
But if she is gone, you start to feel what is missing in your life
So treasure your mum and treat your mum like how much they treat you when you
Were a baby or when you were young
Love her, care for her
Anyway, I did nt managed to get into the top 10
Nvm
Still gt a lot of opportunities
My mum gave the guy in crutches sum money at the end of the competition
He broke into tears and said thank you to her
I was touched by his story
Then headed home to revise my religious exams
